1 Release: version 0.13 - 2008/06/??
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 1
5 - applied Andy Herkey's ipmodem password patch, round 2
6 - cleaning up some rough edges to the ipmodem patches:
7 - removed commented out code in pppob.cc
8 - added BXLOCAL to private member SendPasword()
9 - added try/catch in IpModem destructor
10 - removed FIXME comment about endian issues
11 - added data size checks to SendPassword()
13 - renamed class variable session_key to match others
14 - added check to skip password if "" is passed in
15 - added the m_filter for ipmodem PPP 0x7e filtering
16 back, since the 8320 w/ rogers seems to need it
18 - added timeout argument to Device::BulkDrain()
19 - added mozilla's sha1 code from git
20 - removed openssl dependency due to license issues
21 Debian and Ubuntu have checks in their lintian tool that
22 check for GPL+OpenSSL linkage. In order to remove any
23 potential obstacles to future inclusion in those distros,
24 the dependency is removed here in favour of the small
25 mozilla implementation which is GPL.
27 - added notes to web documentation for OpenBSD
28 - documentation updates:
29 - changed git patch command to use format-patch
30 - added instructions for building from tarball

44 - updated rpm spec file history
45 - added pppob manpage to rpm spec file
46 - added manpages for brecsum, breset, upldif, and barrybackup,
47 and updated the build process to support them.
48 Also updated date for pppob manpage.
49 - updated rpm spec file with new manpages
50 - added ProductID code 0x8004 to breset.cc
51 - minor whitespace and usage text fix in upldif.cc
52 - deleted old src/Makefile.orig

61 - fixed compile errors in library, utils, and plugin when compiling
62 with new gcc 4.3.x... gui not yet finished
64 - added minimum g++ version to website dependency docs

80 - modified verizon options file to use pppob
81 - split the sample rogers options file into options and chat files
83 - put sequence packet check directly in the SocketZero::RawReceive()
84 function, which now localizes all sequence packet
85 handling and checking, as well as avoids packet
86 order problems when multiple sockets are in use,
88 FIXME - this localized sequence checking may make all
89 the calls to CheckSequence() obsolete which
90 should probably be cleaned up someday, if so.
91 - reorganized src/socket.cc to match class private/public
92 order (no code change, only move)
93 - added verbose log message to Controller constructors, so it is
94 possible to determine whether a program is using
95 threaded or non-threaded sockets
96 - added -z and -Z command line options to btool to control
97 the non-threaded/threaded behaviour, respectively;
98 and updated the man page
99 - removed debug sleep() calls from pppob
100 - added SIGINT signal handler so pppob shutsdown gracefully when
103 - mention CVS and git on main documentation "how to" list
104 - moved PPP filter logic into its own class
105 - enhanced PPP filter class to support prepending of
106 empty bytes if needed, in order to reduce data
107 copying, and clarified why there is no GetBuffer()
108 - added ProbeResult::HasIpModem() to determine whether
109 IpModem endpoints are available
110 - added pure virtual Modem base class for common
111 modem-oriented API (only Open and Write so far)
112 - Mode::IpModem is now derived from Barry::Modem
113 - experimental implementation for Mode::Serial,
114 which is now derived from Barry::Modem,
116 - pppob now supports IpModem and Serial modes, and logging
117 to file instead of stderr
118 - added man page for pppob
120 - modified the planned version numbering scheme in doc/VersionNotes,
121 so that a 1.0 is possible, with 1.50 as the devel series
123 - continuing to update html documentation in preparation for
126 - removed -fvisibility-inlines-hidden compile options since some
127 distros have old or broken compilers or libraries where
128 the build breaks looking for STL templates (Ubuntu 7.10,
129 I'm looking at you...)
130 - changed brecsum so usage information is displayed automatically
131 if no command line arguments are specified
132 - added opensync-plugin to maintainer test scripts, and added
133 ubuntu710 to the test build sequence
135 - updated doc/TroubleShooting.txt
136 - removed usb_control message check from IpModem endpoint probing
137 in src/probe.cc, since some devices, like the 8700
138 have both RIM_UsbSerData mode and IpModem mode.
139 - fixed serialization code for Calendar record class, in s11n-boost.h
140 - made UnknownField's data member into its own type,
141 so that when building records, it doesn't get processed
142 like a null terminated string... also added more
143 BuildField() helper functions for accuracy
144 - fixed missing fields in the Calendar record build process
145 - added Calendar to list of Builders in tools/btool...
146 it is now possible to run: btool -s "Calendar" -f datafile
147 - added tools/brecsum program, which calculates SHA1 checksums
148 on database records, for testing
149 - added brecsum to debian and rpm builds
150 - added recurrence builder function to Calendar record builder code
151 which completes builder support
152 Checksums from the following commands now match:
153 brecsum -d Calendar > sum1.txt
154 btool -d Calendar -f calendar.dat
155 btool -s Calendar -f calendar.dat
156 brecsum -d Calendar > sum2.txt
157 diff -u <(sort sum1.txt) <(sort sum2.txt)
159 - applied Jason Thomas's ACLOCAL_FLAGS patch to make autoreconf
160 work again... Thanks!
161 - applied Jason Thomas's debian build dependency patch
164 - started documentation overhaul in doc/www, putting the commonly
165 asked questions right on the front page, and making it more
166 goal-oriented, so it is hopefully easier to use
169 - fixed error messages in m_desktop.cc that still referred
172 - major merge of barry-b1-socket-arch-branch into MAIN.
173 The following is the changelog from that branch, which is now MAIN.

301 Release: version 0.12 - 2008/03/21
302 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
304 - changed maintainer script to use CVS export instead of checkout,
305 to avoid the CVS directories
306 - added support for building Debian source packages with proper
307 diff.gz and dsc files
308 - fixed find warning in maintainer/make-rpm.sh
309 - added support for Ubuntu binary packages to the maintainer build
312 - renamed all vformat_ and VFormat symbols in opensync plugin's
313 copy of vformat code, so they don't conflict with the
314 real opensync libraries
316 - updated the install.php web page with Paul Dugas's notes on
317 building RPM's from CVS
318 - fixed problem in tools/Makefile.am where bs11nread was included
319 in build, even if --with-boost was not specified
320 on ./configure command line
322 - changed format of Boost serialization file output from btool,
323 so that the database name is stored as the first line
325 - added tools/bs11nread.cc to read Boost serialization file data
327 - minor adjustments to r_message.h and r_timezone.h
328 - updated s11n-boost.h header to match record classes
330 - applied Time Zone parsing patches from Brian Edginton
331 - added Time Zones to list of supported parsers in btool.cc
333 - changed configure.ac to use bzip2 for "make dist".. thanks to
334 Paul Dugas for the tip
336 - committed Chris Burgess's update to the roadmap document
337 - applied Paul Dugas's x86-64 build patch, except the
338 tar.bz2/tar.gz change
339 - updated AUTHORS file
341 - fixed configure.ac's --with-boost option, so that without args,
342 it defaults to using --includedir and --libdir settings,
343 instead of hardcoding /usr/include and /usr/lib... this
344 should allow smarter compiling on 64 bit systems
345 - updated RPM spec file to use new --with-boost behaviour
346 - ahem, fixed configure.ac again... don't use --includedir and
347 --libdir, as those are install targets... oops.
348 Don't add path overrides at all if not specified.
350 - fixed locale issues in src/data.cc
351 - updated copyright statments for 2008
353 - applied wording correction patch to btool from Matt LaPlante
355 - changed hard coded databases names in btool to calls to
356 <recordclass>::GetDBName()
361 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
365 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
368 Release: version 0.11 - 2007/12/01
369 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
371 - fixed null pointer bug in Probe class (bug #1842407)
372 - added pause to maintainer release script
378 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
382 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
384 Release: version 0.10 - 2007/11/30
385 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
387 - added support to the usbwrap Match class to limit its
388 search by busname / devname
389 - added support to the Probe class to limit its search for
390 Blackberry devices to a given bus or device name
391 - added command line options to btool for the above Probe
392 bus/device names, and updated the man page
393 - updated the www docs with regard to the new usb_storage
394 behaviour and the new blacklist files... less
395 concern about berry_charge and usb_storage conflicts
396 - added bidentify tool and accompanying man page
397 - fixed bug in rpm maintenance script that used the wrong
398 spec file for opensuse
400 - added better error checking to breset
401 - commented the sleep() for the 8830
402 - added code to handle the race condition where usb_storage
403 claims the device before bcharge arrives on the scene,
404 by asking the kernel to detach the driver from
405 the Mass Storage interface... this change makes it
406 possible to run bcharge, moving from 0006 to 0004
407 to 0001 and back to 0004, all *while* usb_storage
409 - changed Probe class behaviour so that it will not throw an
410 exception on Device Busy (-EBUSY) but instead
411 log the error in an internal array and keep going.
412 This makes it possible to use btool and barrybackup
413 with two devices plugged in at the same time.
414 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this changes initializaion
415 behaviour, but in practice, it should only
416 make applications look more capable, not less.
417 - updated btool to show errors logged by Probe
418 - added message to specify which PIN device is being used by btool
419 - added explanatory comments to udev rules files, about why
422 - added ClearHalt() calls to probe and controller classes, just
423 before any communication happens... the 8830 seems
426 - added usbwrap.cc:GetConfiguration()
427 - added code to check whether the configuration is the one
428 we require, before calling SetConfiguration()... and not
429 to call it if unnecessary. This allows us to run
430 at the same time as usb_storage.
431 Thanks to Martin Owens for not letting this issue go. :-)
432 - added sleep to bcharge, before calling usb_reset()... the
433 Blackberry 8830 behaves like a Pearl device in that
434 it has mass storage support, but behaves like a Classic
435 in that it resets itself... the usb_reset() seems
436 to reset it back to 0006. The sleep allows the device
437 to disappear via its own reset, and let usb_reset()
438 fail naturally on these devices.
439 This is not an ideal solution... mainly for testing.
441 - added modprobe/blacklist-berry_charge as per Simon Ruggier's
442 suggestion. Thanks also to Niels de Vos for a similar
444 - fixed udev rules to work on both old and new distros
445 Thanks to Duncan Mak for the bug report.
447 - fixed string comparison to use case insensitive compare in
449 - updated Debian package to include modprobe blacklist file
450 - updated rpm spec file to include modprobe blacklist file
451 - split the maintenance scripts into release and test, so
452 that release package builds can be done faster
454 - opensync plugin fixes:
455 - fixed memory leak in vBase::GetAttr()
456 - added support in vformat parser to parse "blocks"
457 and keep track of the hierarchy when
458 parsing an iCalendar, etc.
459 - added support for searching for attributes only
460 inside certain blocks (i.e. find first
461 DTSTART in VEVENT block, not VTIMEZONE block)
463 - fixed bug in Calendar::Clear, missing the Free / Class
464 member variables, leaving them uninitialized
465 - added examples/addcalendar.cc
466 - added more logging to the opensync plugin, logging the
467 ToBarry conversion results
468 - added code to force struct tm.tm_isdst to -1 before calling
470 - fixed typo in previous fix
472 - renamed ktrans and translate to bktrans and btranslate to avoid
473 file name clashes with libtranslate of Gnome
474 Closes bug #1812410 reported by Troy Engel.
479 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
483 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
484 - fixed missing default config file in the debian package for
486 Closes bug #1812224 reported by Ariel (adonatti).
487 - added debian dbg packages for tracing segfaults
488 - modified maintainer scripts so debug packages would reference
489 source code located in /usr/src/barry-0.9, etc.
491 Release: version 0.9 - 2007/10/12
492 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
494 - adjusted autosuspend disabling code in bcharge, based on new
495 information on how kernels 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 work.
496 See bcharge.cc for comments. If device/power/level or
497 device/power/autosuspend exist, charging should now work
498 without recompiling the kernel.
499 - updated website docs with autosuspend info
501 - large update to the doc/www web pages, moving some of the
502 information in README files to html format, so that it
503 is commonly available on the web
504 - added step in maintenance scripts to automatically build the
505 .html files in doc/www when making a tarball release
507 - added libopensync 0.22 version requirement to barry.spec file,
508 but it doesn't seem to work on OpenSuSE 10.2, where it's
511 - updated README to mention new tree build configure options
512 - fixed the configure scripts and makefiles so that when building
513 with custom CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables,
514 it doesn't break the full-tree build mode, when
515 using --enable-gui and/or --enable-opensync-plugin
516 - added config.h.in~ to buildgen.sh clean target
517 - converted Debian build scripts to use cdbs
518 - added opensync plugin binary package for Debian
519 - added "Getting Started" section to web pages, as well as an
520 explanatory document for various system requirements
521 - turned on opensync build in RPM maintainer scripts
523 - added filename to power/state error message in bcharge.cc
524 - adjusted maintainer scripts to automatically adjust barry.spec
525 for opensuse rpm builds
527 - fixed some of the release build scripts and added support for
528 automated opensuse 10.2 builds
529 - fixed build target to i386
530 - changed scripts to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable instead
533 - added website docs to doc/www... these are out of date at the
534 moment, and hopefully by including them here, they
535 will be updated more frequently
537 - applied Simon Ruggier's build system patch that allowed a build
538 of all 3 components from the root directory and fixed the
539 configure scripts to support external build directories
540 - reordered clean commands in the buildgen.sh scripts, and removed
541 the INSTALL files, since they are auto-generated by autoconf
542 - removed extraneous buildgen.sh calls in maintainer scripts
543 - added Simon Ruggier to AUTHORS
544 - added explanatory note to 3 stage test build process in
547 - fixed Category handling in the Contact record class, to
548 parse the comma separated string into an array,
550 Note: this involves a change to the boost serialization
551 and will affect backward compatibility with
552 old serialization datafiles
553 - added Category to examples/addcontact.cc
554 - added Category support to the opensync plugin
556 - fixed wrong read/write in btool output (oops)
557 - added BadSize exception, and changed CheckSize() function
559 - changed backup GUI to catch BadSize exceptions on initial
560 connect, and try a reset if that error occurs, since
561 that likely means the device didn't shutdown properly
562 - fixed in opensync plugin:
563 - some vcard data contains types codes in capital letters,
564 so added lower case conversion routine
565 - changed the order of address lines, so that address1
566 is the street, address2 is the extended address,
567 and address3 is the PO Box. The Blackberry
568 doesn't seem to have any PO Box field.
570 - added -e endpoint override option to btool
571 - added status message to endpoint override
573 - added configure check for strnlen, and implementation for
574 systems that don't have it, or that have it implemented
575 incorrectly. Went a little paranoid here, since
576 AC_FUNC_STRNLEN doesn't set a define in config.h,
577 so I had to do it manually, and check in case autoconf
578 changes in the future... ugh. See src/strnlen.h for
580 - added code in probe.cc to fetch the device's description.
581 The description is now part of the probe results
582 along with the PIN. Updates to protocol.h, adding
583 a new attribute definition.
584 Thanks to Rick Scott for pointing out the code in
585 XmBlackberry where he implemented this first.
586 - fixed header dependency in record-internal.h
587 - updated the "required autoconf" version to 2.61 for root build
588 - moved nested structs out of the record classes that contain them,
589 in order to better support SWIG and Python
591 - changed bcharge to use getopt() for its argument processing
592 - added options -p and -s to bcharge, to adjust usb suspend
593 settings automatically where possible
594 - updated the udev rules to use the new bcharge settings
595 - updated the bcharge man page with the new arguments
597 - cleaned up Usb exception handling, moving libusb error code
598 processing into the Usb::Error exception class.
599 error.cc is now an empty shell
600 - added return codes to the Usb::Error exceptions
601 - removed aboutdialog.{h,cc} from the backup GUI since even
602 Debian stable now has up-to-date gtkmm libraries
603 - added more user friendly error message for the "device busy"
604 case, recommending 'rmmod usb_storage'.
606 - added better error checking to bcharge.cc
611 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc
615 - opensync-plugin/src/barry_sync.cc
616 - removed usb_set_configuration() check from bcharge.cc, since
617 that may fail under normal operation, in this case

620 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
622 - moved Interface implementation to usbwrap.cc file
623 - added dout debugging messages to usbwrap.cc

626 Reconnect(), for odd message seen on newer Blackberry
628 - fixing issues with Brian Edginton's MessageRecord patch (2007/06/29)
629 - fixed missing size check in message oriented ParseHeader()
630 - fixed endian conversion issues (also found one pre-existing
631 endian bug in the process)
632 - moved message timestamp converter code to time.cc
633 - added Barry version number to opensync plugin name
634 - changed maintainer scripts and rpm.spec to use bzip2 instead of gzip
635 - added opensync-plugin to configure script build
636 - added -S option to btool, to list supported parsers and builders
637 - slight change to opensync-plugin/buildgen.sh to cleanup config.h.in~
638 - opensync-plugin/README update
639 - added opensync-plugin/patches for others who may be building and
640 testing the plugin with OpenSync 0.22
641 - added debian package build scripts to maintainer/
643 - added entry to doc/TroubleShooting.txt
645 - added doc/TroubleShooting.txt
648 - fixed bug in vcard.cc that was using the FN field
649 for the broken-down name instead of N
650 - added dbId and dbName to DatabaseSyncState
651 - added Reconnect() functionality to BarryEnvironment class
652 and moved connect logic out of barry_sync.cc
653 - changed the batch commit functionality in barry_sync.cc
654 to single-change-commit. Why? Because opensync
655 0.22 groups all batch changes into one group
656 and calls one batch commit function, even if you
657 registered two. Moving to single change commit
658 mode removes a chunk of unneccessary code
659 from the plugin as well, and can in theory
660 ease memory pressure in the library.
661 - added FinishSync() to perform actions needed on successful
663 - disconnect on successful sync completion, and reconnect,
664 since the device's dirty flags don't seem to
665 be updated until a disconnect occurs.
667 - added ReadDataArray() to data.h, using an istream instead of
669 - added raw data version of BuildField() to record-internal.h
670 This is so that btool doesn't add extra null terminators
671 to unknown data, when restoring with option -s
672 - fixed bugs in r_contact.cc:
673 - fixed bug that caused a LastName/FirstName swap
674 if FirstName was empty and you wrote a contact
675 record into the device.... First/Last Name
676 fields are position sensitive, and the code
677 was missing the empty FirstName case on writing
678 - fixed bug in BuildFields() and Dump() where they
679 were not updated to handle the new field
680 table added for the postal address changes
683 - changed the plugin config file, so it is possible to
684 turn debug output on/off without recompiling
685 - moved the standalone Map2Uid() function into
686 the DatabaseSyncState class, and changed the
687 code to produce "contact-#" and "calendar-#"
688 UID strings, instead of just numbers
689 - changed default PIN to -1, so that if the user doesn't
690 configure properly, it will fail... this is a
691 safety measure to avoid syncing with different
692 devices and corrupting the cache/idmap...
693 this should be fixed someday, to handle this
695 On second thought... is this right? Perhaps
696 it is better to fail if the PIN is not what
697 is expected, so a user doesn't accidentally
698 sync the wrong device and lose data.
699 Actions to take on new PIN:
700 - force slow_sync, or
702 - incorporated the new VCardConverter code into the
703 main barry_sync.cc plugin code
704 - fixed bug that did not clear the devices dirty flags
705 in the case where a sync only read data from it,
707 - changed PIN error message number to hex
709 - minor wording change in backup GUI prompt: "Backup working..." to
710 "Backup in progress..."
711 - renamed Contact class's Title field to JobTitle for clarity
712 - added record function ParseFieldString(), which properly handles
713 strings from the device that have multiple null terminators,
714 and changed the record parsing code to use this new function
715 - moved FullName() function from ldif.cc to r_contact.cc since it
716 is generally useful in areas outside of LDIF processing
717 - refactored postal addresses in the Contact record class into
718 a new class called PostalAddress
719 - renamed Address class in record.h to EmailAddress
720 - moved Contact::GetPostalAddress() to record.cc as part of the
721 new PostalAddress class and renamed it
722 PostalAddress::GetLabel()
724 - refactored vformat helpers into separate base class
726 - added vCard converter class
727 - commented out the code that skipped over the adding
728 of empty attribute values and parameters,
729 since VCARD depends on some of this behaviour
730 - movified vformat.c:vformat_find_attribute() to take
731 an extra nth argument, in order to search
732 for multiple attributes with the same name...
733 the way this is coded is a bit inefficient...
734 but we're moving away from vformat when we move
735 to OpenSync 0.3x / 0.40, so this is just temporary
738 - added SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" to example udev rules, in order
739 to avoid running bcharge for each endpoint that is
740 added by udev, when first plugged in. Running bcharge
741 back-to-back multiple times can crash some
745 - fixed ID mapping bug in the case of a non-numeric UID
746 from syncing external -> Barry, and then the
747 new Barry ID would look like a new change
748 when syncing back from Barry -> external.
749 - added support for slow sync
750 - added clear() to idmap class
751 - added vformat attr parameter extraction class
752 - added more trace logging during vformat/Barry conversions
753 - added Notification time support
754 - handled "all day" vformat special case, when DTEND
755 does not exist in a vformat data block
756 - changed the min1900_t time conversion functions to handle
757 the 0xffffffff special case, when notifications
758 are turned off on a calendar event (src/time.cc)
759 - also made the calendar data dump output clearer for
760 disabled timestamps, and added debug output
761 for the raw min1900 value, in case there are more
762 special cases in the future
764 - fixed null pointer access in opensync's HasMultipleVEvents()
766 - upper management directive: revert all OpenSync 0.3x changes
767 and proceed with OpenSync 0.22. Reverting the
768 opensync-plugin/src tree to Barry 0.7 status.
770 - reorganized exception and trace code in opensync plugin
771 - added XmlToCalendar() function, based on unfinished opensync
772 library API that is not yet finished... will be
773 committed to opensync svn tree when complete
774 - added OSyncXMLField logger to plugin trace class
776 - applied email MessageRecord patch from Brian Edginton (thanks!)
777 - updated Message::Dump() to output more valid mbox data...
778 the goal is to be able to do:
779 btool -d "Messages" > email.mbox
781 - changed some TODO's to FIXME's to keep it grep-consistent
782 - applied Folder support patch from Brian Edginton
783 - fixed pedantic compile warnings, and changed order in src/Makefile.am
784 - removed unneeded cast in src/r_folder.cc
786 - minor adjustment to ctags building in buildgen.sh
787 - applied patch from Brian Edginton for better boost detection
789 - added boost usage message to btool -h output
791 - more porting of OpenSync module to 0.30
792 - added ctags build for opensync source tree to buildgen.sh
794 - changed PKG_CONFIG_PATH setting in rpm script, so that systems
795 like SuSE that have an extensive PKG_CONFIG_PATH
796 in general use will not break on build
797 - added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to debian script too, just in case :-)
798 - added debian/changelog to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
799 - added comment to rpm/barry.spec regarding SuSE RPM builds
801 - applied patch from Niels de Vos fixing debian package build
803 - applied Brian Edginton's Saved Email Messages patch
804 - updated r_saved_messages.cc comment to match header
805 - added GetRecType()/GetUniqueId() to r_saved_messages.h, since
806 SetIds() is already there
807 - removed Address version of operator<<() from message related headers
808 and moved into record.h
809 - added std::hex to message related dumps, and changed output to
811 - updated doc/CodingStyle.txt to cover switch() statements
812 - opensync compiles again, with 0.30! (not functional yet)
813 - moving closer to more modular and reusable plugin functions
814 - updated release checklist for opensync version number
816 - added doc/CodingStyle.txt... preliminary version
818 - applied Brian Edginton's PIN message patch
819 - changes to PIN message patch:
820 - fixed missing backslash in src/Makefile.am
821 - fixed tab alignment throughout
822 - removed typedef from Address struct
823 - added clear() to Address... might as well, if it it is
824 going to be a standalone type
825 - fixed missing comma in PINMessageFieldLinks table
826 - changed MessageRecordId in PINMessage to load from a new
827 uint32_t field in CommonField, instead of piggy
828 backing on a field for other use
829 - did some testing and found that PINMessage's MessageRecordId
830 is the same as the RecordId given through the SetIds()
831 API... but these Id's are duplicated in the protocol...
832 RecordId is stored in the protocol header, while
833 MessageRecordId is stored in the record it self as
834 a common field... added RecType and RecordId to
835 PIN Message so that we store both of these
838 - added item to gui/TODO
839 - applied Brian Edginton's s11n-boost.h patch
841 - renamed template values to more consistent naming scheme
842 - applied memos and tasks patch from Brian Edginton, slightly
843 modified to split into the new separate files system
844 - changes to memos and tasks classes:
845 - reformatted the code to match coding style
847 - added copyright notice
848 - changed class to singular (Memo, not Memos)
849 - placed in Barry namespace
850 - added #ifdef header protectors
851 - added new files to Makefile.am
852 - added new r_*.h headers to record.h
853 - added support for Memos and Tasks to tools/btool.cc, based on
854 Brian Edginton's patch
855 (currently commented out, for Boost library reasons):
856 - added doc/CommitPolicy.txt
859 - added ctags generation to buildgen.sh
860 - applied record.{h,cc} fix patch from Brian Edginton
864 - fixed broken formatting in above patch
865 - refactored record parser classes into separate files for each
866 - changed the ConvertHtoB<> template to inline, as it caused
867 linker errors with the new file layout
869 - fixed bug in Debian packaging that put util commands in
870 /bin and /sbin instead of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
871 - commited byteswap.h replacement code from gm2net
873 - removed unneeded debug messages on stdout
874 - changed the default for debug output to "off"
875 and added a command line option to turn
876 it on if necessary (--debug-output)
877 - command line option --help now also works
878 - fixed bug in Calendar class where it didn't initialize
879 RecType properly... and cleaned up other RecType
880 code to use the GetDefaultRecType() functions,
881 localizing the constants in one place
883 - applied patches from Brian Edginton, parsing more
884 fields in Contact and Calendar records
885 - added Brian Edginton to AUTHORS
886 - reformatted record.{h,cc} to match the rest of the code,
887 removed commented out code, and removed mention of
888 Outlook from the comments.
889 - updated udev/10-blackberry.rules.Debian for Debian Etch
890 - updated debian/rules to use new udev rules file
891 - removed debian/postinst, as stable versions of Debian now
892 have a recent udev, and don't need the special handling
893 - updated Debian build scripts to build separate packages:
898 - added menu support to Debian barrybackup-gui package
899 - made the buttons bigger in the backup GUI, as they were too
902 - more progress in porting to opensync 0.30, heavily
903 based on the example plugin in the opensync
904 svn tree... this is a work in progress, and so far
908 - partial porting to opensync 0.30 (in progress!)
909 - fixed bug in sync_done where it reported context error
910 and then success afterward
911 - checking in new INSTALL files based on Etch's autoconf run
912 - added item to gui's todo list
913 - bumped version numbers to 0.8 in:
917 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
921 Release: version 0.7 - 2007/05/02
922 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
924 - added rpm building to maintainer/release scripts
925 - added "HEAD" feature to tarball creation script, for easier testing
926 - updated maintainer/README
927 - updated maintainer/release.sh to use new HEAD feature too
929 - added pppob to rpm barry.spec
930 - bumped release number in barry.spec
933 - fixed size check bugs (strlen() == 0 when empty)
934 - finished refactoring calendar conversion routines
935 - started timezone parsing, but this may go away
936 if we use opensync 0.30's time functions and
938 - added development note to README
940 - updated README and opensync-plugin/README with more current
943 - refactored some calendar conversion routines
944 - added Barry->vCalendar conversion for recurring appointments
947 - removed some unneeded trace logs
948 - fixed VEventConverter constructor bug, with uninitialized
950 - eased up the requirement that every calendar event
951 must have a summary... defaults to "<blank subject>"
953 - added more VCALENDAR fields to match Barry::Calendar record
954 - fixed case sensitive compares in vformat.c
956 - opensync module work:
957 - added id map class to map string uid's from OpenSync to
958 numeric ID's from the Blackberry
959 - fixed bug in CommitChange() where it was still using
960 a hard coded calendar record state table
961 - added lots of logging throughout
962 - fixed bug where newly added records didn't use the
963 change object's uid, but created a new ID,
964 causing another sync on the next run
965 i.e. (CommitData_t was missing an argument)
966 - fixed bug where uninitialized notification time was
967 written to the Blackberry
968 - more opensync module work:
969 - refactored the environment class into another subclass
970 called DatabaseSyncState, and moved some stand-
971 alone functions from barry_sync.cc into
972 the environment classes
973 - added a tagged constructor to the trace class
974 - fixed idmap::Load() to clear map before loading
976 - renamed barry-config to barry-sync, the default configuration
977 file for the opensync module... and filled it with
978 a sample configuration
979 - added code to update the calendar cache, and write it to disk
980 on success (opensync module)
981 - added code to clear dirty flags in the device (opensync module)
982 - allowed comments in the config file
983 - added vformat.c from libopensync 0.22, since the vformat
984 routines are not available from the plugin side
987 - added -d switch to bcharge to switch back from 0001 to 0004 mode,
988 changed the auto-detection logic to ignore iProduct and
989 only use idProduct, and updated man page
990 - updated breset to recognize the Pearl in 00004 mode as well
991 - changed src/probe.cc logic to assume that the second endpoint
992 pair is the one needed for database communication, instead
993 of doing a reverse search from the end... newer Pearls
994 in Dual mode seem to have at least 3 or 4 endpoint pairs,
995 and the old search didn't always work
996 - applied sourceforge patch #1696884 from Peter Silva, updating
997 the Debian build for Etch, and including all files in one deb
998 - added Peter Silva to AUTHORS file
999 - uncommented the "make distclean" in debian/rules, and removed
1000 the reliance on /tmp when installing 99-barry-perms.rules
1001 - applied bb_task_format.txt patch from Peter Silva
1002 - fixed each misspelling of "recurrance" to "recurrence"
1003 - tweaked src/probe.cc again for paranoia's sake... start at
1004 offset 1 if more than 1 endpoint pair, otherwise start
1006 - split up opensync module into multiple source files, and started
1007 using the opensync vformat routines for parsing and building
1008 the vevent20 data (experimental)
1010 - more incremental work on the opensync plugin, adding ADDED
1011 and MODIFIED functionality... (experimental!)
1013 - added code to dump extra descriptors during device discovery,
1015 - bumped opensync version number in configure.ac, and made
1016 the configure scripts more consistent with the rest
1018 - fixed printf-format size bug in opensync module
1020 - applied patch from Niels de Vos, fixing deb udev rules for Pearl
1022 - fixed extra space bug in LDIF output (added space when creating
1023 FullName, even if there was no last name)
1024 - fixed Address Book record parsing in Contact class... the
1025 Blackberry database uses field id 0x20 for both the
1026 first and last names, and if only a last name exists,
1027 the first name will be empty. Fixed parser to handle
1028 this special case, without relying on string length.
1029 Thanks to Troy Engel for reporting above two LDIF bugs.
1030 - added a few more constants to bcharge.cc
1031 - renamed opensync's configure.in to configure.ac
1033 - fixed bcharge to avoid endless reset loop... oops
1035 - reorganized bcharge.cc to make it possible to switch between
1036 Pearl modes 0004 and 0001
1037 - added flag to BadPassword exception class, to signal whether
1038 the library considers the device "out of retries" or not
1039 - updated socket.cc for new BadPassword exception
1040 - added special case to Controller class destructor to reset the
1041 device if being destroyed in a half-open state... this is
1042 a temporary fix until we understand how to handle
1043 the "already open" message we get when opening the Desktop
1045 - added password prompt dialog to the backup GUI
1046 - fixed possible memory leak in GUI's DeviceInterface::Connect()
1048 - committed Troy Engel's bbrules_mass_symlinks.patch, fixing
1049 udev rules for the Pearl
1050 - updated 10-blackberry.rules.Debian to match 10-blackberry.rules's
1052 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to generate all required
1053 RPM's... Thank you! Notes in the README taken from
1054 the sourceforge tracker entry containing the patch.
1055 - added libusb lib flags to tools/ and examples/ makefiles,
1056 and tweaked configure.ac with a better default,
1057 to build cleanly on RHEL 4
1058 - modified rpm/barry.spec:
1059 - does not create doc-only barry base package anymore
1060 - fixed "barry-backup" typo
1061 - removed the patch step, as version 0.7 shouldn't need it
1062 - added license file to each package
1063 - commented out console perms scripts, pending mailing list
1066 - applied Troy Engel's barry.spec patch to fix RHEL4 compile issues
1067 - fixed 80 column wrapping error in barry.spec, thanks to Troy Engel
1069 - applied Troy Engel's udev permissions patch for Redhat/Fedora
1070 systems, which automatically set the ownership of a
1071 newly plugged in device to the currently logged in console
1073 - added udev/README to document what all those files are for...
1074 part of the text comes from the sourceforge comment
1075 on the above udev permissions patch from Troy Engel
1076 - uncommented the console perms scripts for rpm/barry.spec
1077 - added libglademm-2.4 to gui/README's dependency list
1078 - made usbwrap.* calls more threadsafe
1079 - added Usb::Timeout exception for timeout errors
1080 - added preliminary UsbSerData support to library for GPRS modem
1081 functionality, using Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry's serdata.c
1083 - added overloaded Socket::Send() for sending without receiving
1084 - added preliminary pppob command line tool
1090 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1093 - build system tweaks for opensync-plugin, and added a buildgen.sh
1095 - added better debug messages in probe.cc and usbwrap.cc's
1096 device discovery code
1097 - changed error handling for null interface->altsetting pointers
1098 when doing device discovery in usbwrap.cc. Seems that
1099 some devices report a higher number in bNumInterfaces
1100 than are really available... in this case, let's
1101 just ignore the missing data and assume success
1102 - applied udev script patch #1663986 from Troy Engel
1103 - applied barry-bcharge.spec patch #1672178 from Troy Engel
1104 - ReleaseChecklist update
1105 - added rpm/README based on Troy Engel's patch notes
1106 - updated new barry-bcharge.spec for version 0.7, removing patch
1109 Release: version 0.6 - 2007/02/28
1110 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1112 - fixed size checks for device database records larger than 64K
1113 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1114 - added initial release maintainer scripts
1115 - fixed odd backup success message in GUI when doing a backup with
1116 no databases selected in configuration
1117 Thanks to Michael Brown for the bug report.
1118 - added udev permissions file patch from Michael Brown
1119 - added Michael Brown to AUTHORS
1120 - updated README, gui/README, and doc/USB-capture.txt
1121 - added -o command line switch to bcharge.cc, and updated man page
1123 - changed library behaviour so it only turns on libusb debug output
1124 if in data dump mode. In btool, -v controls this output.
1125 - minor stream formatting fix in btool
1126 - added OpenSSL dependency to build for password hash support
1127 - made debug dout() output conditional on Init() flag... In btool,
1128 -v now controls this as well
1129 - reverse engineered more of the initial probe packets, and
1130 implemented probing in struct based code... changes include:
1131 - added support for "attribute fetch" packets, used at
1132 the beginning of USB conversations
1133 - defined object/attribute id codes for the PIN number
1134 - made Protocol::SocketCommand more robust, and implemented
1135 its sequence number behaviour
1136 - moved ModeSelectCommand into SocketCommand, as it is a
1137 socket 0 level command
1138 - added initial protocol struct: PasswordChallenge
1139 - renamed Barry::Packet to DBPacket
1140 - added ZeroPacket for socket 0 packet creation and analysis
1141 - Barry::Packet is now the base class for the above
1142 - implemented socket 0 behaviour in socket.cc
1143 - changed return values for Send/Receive/Packet/NextRecord
1144 members in the Socket class from bool to void, as they
1145 don't generate errors themselves, but only can
1146 have an error if Usb::Device throws an exception.
1147 Cleaned up all code that called these members as well.
1148 - removed "last status" from Socket class as it was unused
1149 - updated probe.cc to use new socket 0 implementation
1150 - removed two of the hard coded packet handshakes in favour
1152 - updated controller.cc:
1153 - uses new socket 0 implementation
1154 - removed "flag" hack when opening sockets and
1155 selecting modes, as it should use the
1156 socket 0 sequence number
1157 - added initial, incomplete prototype header for the C API
1158 - updated some .cvsignore files
1160 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt, adding rpm spec file
1161 - added the following to ZeroPacket:
1166 - moved Command() to base Packet class
1167 - added comments to protostructs.h and size constants for the
1168 new PasswordChallenge struct
1169 - added password support to Socket and Controller classes
1170 Thanks to Rick Scott's XmBlackBerry for the openssl
1171 password hashing logic.
1172 - updated btool to use new password support, and updated its man page
1174 - updated Doxygen input files and version, and added to ReleaseChecklist
1175 - fixed btool PIN output for LDIF mode, now commented in output
1176 - major LDIF overhaul:
1177 - split LDIF specific code out of the record class and
1179 - fixed "full name" behaviour that added an extra space
1180 in dn attributes, as reported by Troy Engel
1181 - added support for mapping of LDIF attributes to Barry
1183 - fixed base64 handling, so attributes are only so encoded
1185 - fixed base64 attribute reading inconsistency... some
1186 notes fields were missed in old version if not
1188 - added support for specifying alternate attribute for
1189 constructing a FQDN, instead of just "cn"
1190 - updated btool and upldif to use new features
1191 - large update to btool manpage
1192 - fixed initialization bug in Contact constructor (missed RecType)
1194 - added ktrans.cc to make reading of kernel usbfs_snoop logs easier
1195 - removed commented code from translate.cc
1196 - added Pearl handshake support to bcharge.cc, which resets the
1197 Pearl so that the vendor specific 0xFF class exists.
1198 This should allow use of btool on the Pearl.
1199 - added Data::AppendHexString to data.cc
1200 - added better probing support for the Pearl, so it detects the
1201 Product ID 0x0004 mode, and does a search for class 0xFF
1202 instead of hardcoding it.
1204 - applied README patch from Ian Darwin
1205 - minor tweaks to README
1206 - added missing errno.h header in src/usbwrap.cc for AMD64
1207 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting the bug.
1208 - tightened up size checks in Data::ReleaseBuffer()
1209 - stable libusb *does* return the actual length of the USB packet...
1210 fixed this in usbwrap.cc to set the actual size of read data,
1211 and removed the size hacks elsewhere in the code:
1212 probe.cc, protocol.cc, socket.cc, usbwrap.cc
1214 - added proper return codes for error conditions in btool.cc
1215 - clarified some stream output code in the library, for hex/dec numbers
1216 - removed old, non-working connect.cc test program
1217 - added iomanip to debug.h
1218 - changed usbwrap to call libusb again if EINTR and EAGAIN
1219 This should fix one of the OpenBSD issues
1222 - fixed bug in barrybackup GUI that didn't create the target path
1223 if the user didn't do Edit | Config first.
1224 Thanks to Ian Darwin for reporting the bug.
1225 - applied gui/src/ConfigFile.cc header fix patch for OpenBSD
1228 - added initial btool.1 man page from Ian Darwin
1229 - updated man/Makefile.am for new btool.1
1231 - applied btool -h help clarification patch from Ian Darwin
1233 - reworked exception hierarchy, so applications can handle all
1234 Barry related exceptions, including Usb errors, with
1235 one base class: Barry::Error
1236 - fixed all the ripple changes this caused throughout the codebase
1237 - added BadPassword exception
1243 - gui/src/BackupWindow.cc (about dialog)
1244 - updated doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1245 - added usb-level breset.cc command line tool
1246 - fixed bug in gui/src/tarfile.* for systems where
1247 sizeof(int) != sizeof(void*)
1248 - TarFile class now uses a plugin style for the compression
1249 operations, to allow for threadsafe versions if needed
1251 - also fixed leaked file handle bug in open_compressed()
1252 - Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this for 64bit systems
1253 - minor signed comparison fixes in the library
1254 - added better protocol data dumping code in probe.cc
1255 - added Usb::Device::BulkDrain(), to prevent Barry from hanging
1256 due to pending reads
1258 Release: version 0.5 - 2007/01/26
1259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1261 - added missing errno.h header to gui/src/util.cc
1262 - lots more endian fixes after testing on iMac
1263 - iostream output size fixes
1264 - added option to btool to reset the device via software
1265 - beefed up exception handling in barrybackup
1266 - checked in opensync work-in-progress: trace logging, pointer bugfix
1267 this is still experimental
1268 - added aboutdialog.* files from gtkmm24 2.10.6, so we have a dialog
1269 class for systems running older versions of gtkmm, like
1271 - uncommented the about box menu handler
1272 - added "cleanall" option to root buildgen.sh script
1273 - update ReleaseChecklist.txt
1274 - removed CVS auto-history strings from aboutdialog.*
1276 - found a link between the unknown field in tagged protocol headers
1277 and the unknown field in RecordStateTable entries. This
1278 field matters when uploading certain databases, such as
1279 Browser Options. It is unknown what this field really
1280 means, but we're calling it RecType. Updated the API
1281 to use this in all parser objects and builder objects
1282 and record objects that use it.
1283 - changed some uses of uint64_t to uint32_t, in Contact and
1284 Calendar record objects... unique IDs only seem to be
1286 - added new static function to record classes: GetDefaultRecType()
1287 This returns the default rectype that should work
1288 for that record. Ideally this should be retrieved from
1289 the device, but in the case where a database has no
1290 records, this info would be good to know.
1291 - updated convenience template function Controller::AddRecordByType()
1292 to use GetDefaultRecType()
1293 - documented the recurrence data and how to use it in Calendar objects
1294 - added data debug output for incoming USB packets in the
1295 socket class... when we ported to the stable libusb
1296 we lost some of the verbose output... this should get it
1297 back. (In the official release, you need to uncomment
1298 ddout() in debug.h for the full blast of debug output).
1299 - backup GUI updates:
1300 - changed error_done signal into a pure error signal,
1301 and changed the logic so the restore continues
1302 even if there was a protocol error on one database
1303 - changed status bar messages to show what's happening
1304 i.e. Backup or Restore
1305 - default to not restore the "Handheld Agent" database as
1306 it appears to be read-only on the device
1307 - added temporary Restore & Backup mode for debugging
1308 - added extra hyphen to backup files to show date/time better
1309 - updated GUI to save and restore the new RecType field
1310 supported now by the library
1312 - added future considerations to doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1313 - applied big endian patch from Jonathan Hudson
1315 - removed endian.h include from barry.h, since applications
1316 using the library should not care about endianness
1317 - hard coded the path to config.h in endian.h
1318 so that endian.h never makes it into the final
1320 - removed DEFAULT_INCLUDES setting from src/Makefile.am
1322 - removed config.h dependency in btool.cc and used library
1323 Version call instead
1324 - added big/little endian text to the Barry::Version call
1326 - fixed install location of bcharge when building with ./configure;
1327 now goes to sbin/ for both source compile and binary packages
1328 Thanks to Jonathan Hudson for reporting this bug.
1330 - added smarter timeout values to controller, and allowed
1331 timeout overrides in the packet, socket, and usbwrap code...
1332 extra timeouts are needed for erasing databases for
1334 - added an explicit DataDumpParser class to btool.cc, as the
1335 library doesn't always have extreme verbose debugging on...
1336 this makes sure anyone can always get raw database packets
1337 through btool, for development
1338 - added thread callback signals for error finishes and erase_db
1339 operations, so the GUI is updated properly
1340 - more GUI cleanups (status bar updates, etc)
1341 - finished implementation of GUI restore
1342 - fixed gtkmm/glibmm exception handling when the exceptions
1343 occur in sigc signal handlers... in that case,
1344 exceptions need to be handled with
1345 Glib::add_exception_handler()
1346 - added filename-only reading support to TarFile class
1347 - added pending gui/TODO items
1349 - backup GUI now properly shows progress
1350 - the buttons become insensitive when backup is busy
1351 - refactored directory check code, and added mkdir check
1352 when to the backup setup (so the directory exists
1353 when we try to write to it)
1354 - updated code to use Barry::Data in new namespace
1356 - moved Data class into Barry namespace
1358 - updated copyright dates for the new year
1359 - clarified exception message in controller.cc
1360 - fixed pointer initialization bug in controller.cc
1361 - added documentation comments to parser.h and builder.h
1362 - updated ReleaseChecklist.txt
1364 - changed Barry library configure scripts to make better
1365 use of pkg-config for autodetecting dependencies
1366 - added initial Barry Backup GUI (gui/ directory), capable of making
1367 backups only at this point
1369 - added doc/ReleaseChecklist.txt
1370 - added version API, returning version number and string
1371 - added Troy Engel to AUTHORS
1372 - added special case to bcharge.cc for the Blackberry Pearl,
1373 which doesn't reset itself after the charge handshake
1374 Thanks to Troy Engel for testing.
1376 - added pkg-config support for the library (libbarry-0.pc.in)
1377 - fixed compile error on g++ 3.3 systems (missing stdint.h
1379 - fixed protocol hang at end of Controller operation... in
1380 controller destructor, it was deleting the USB interface
1381 before closing the socket at the BlackBerry level, thereby
1382 leaving the device in Desktop mode
1384 - support the newer udev packages on Ubuntu, which need slightly
1386 - modified bcharge.cc to search for Pearl devices too.
1388 - added Pearl product ID to probe code, but likely not functional
1389 yet until we find someone able to get a USB capture for us
1391 - version bump in configure.ac and src/Makefile.am
1393 Release: version 0.4 - 2006/12/29
1394 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1396 - added bcharge.cc to the tools/ directory (whoohoo!)
1397 - added initial release version of rpm/barry.spec (aka bcharge.spec)
1398 This begins the barry binary release, currently only
1399 including the bcharge utility, but possibly more in
1400 the future. Future binary packages will likely include
1401 libbarry, libbarry-devel, etc, which barry will then
1403 - added udev rule script for BlackBerry devices
1404 - added man/ directory and bcharge.1 manpage
1405 - added debian/ directory for building deb packages, with initial
1407 - added rpm/make-rpm-tarball.sh for building RPMs
1408 - split out technical docs into separate libbarry.docs file for
1409 a future Debian install
1410 - added more cleaning to buildgen.sh
1411 - added new udev rule file for Debian stable
1412 - hardcoded g++ to 3.3 in debian/rules as I have multiple versions
1413 on my system and need to compile releases with stable
1415 - ported Barry to use the stable branch of libusb
1416 NOTE: no longer depends on the devel libusb tarball!
1417 Just use your distro's libusb packages.
1418 - fixed more endian issues
1419 - minor update to TODO
1421 - moved Exceptions, Hacking, and VersionNotes to doc/
1422 - added doc/USB-capture.txt
1424 - added Controller::AddRecord() and template helper
1425 - added beginning version of generic RecordFetch<> template
1426 - set default of Barry::Init() to false (no data dump mode)
1427 - added examples/ directory, with first addcontact.cc example
1429 - added autoconf support based on Peter McAlpine's patch
1430 - renamed Makefiles to Makefile.orig and added script to turn
1431 on old build system if wanted
1432 - fixed boost-specific error path in btool
1433 - moved platform specific code out of time.h and into time.cc
1434 - moved btool.cc, translate.cc, and upldif.cc out of src/ and
1435 into their own tools/ subdirectory
1436 - added NEWS file to make autotools happy
1437 - added a "clean" option to the buildgen.sh script... maintainer's
1439 - reworked autoconf and automake files, to support
1440 barry as a library, to move the programs into their
1441 own tools directory, and support a proper installation
1442 - fixed headers in parser.h, btool.cc, and upldif.cc to work
1443 properly when installed standalone
1444 - added tools/Makefile.plain for testing compiling against
1445 installed barry library
1446 - added commentary on version number system
1447 - removed Makefile.conf and Makefile.orig, as new autoconf
1448 system supercedes it
1449 - added support for boost serialization library in autoconf build
1450 - added library version number to autoconf build
1451 - changed boost flag to __BARRY_BOOST_MODE__ to avoid collisions
1452 - removed debug.h dependency from btool.cc

1470 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1472 - added return code check to Controller::SaveDatabase()
1473 - fixed Data() class constructor, so it doesn't auto-convert
1475 - fixed size checking bug in Packet::ReturnCode() that caused
1476 uploading to device to fail
1478 - added Exceptions doc file, documenting the C++ exceptions used,
1480 - fixed small bug in 'make install' which didn't build first
1481 - minor documentation and cleanup in upldif.cc
1482 - added utility functions to the RecordStateTable class,
1483 GetIndex() and MakeNewRecordId()
1484 - changed btool so that the -d command modifiers can be
1485 specified multiple times to work with multiple records
1487 - added Calendar sync code to the opensync module (not complete)
1488 - cleaned up exception handling in the opensync module, making
1489 more use of the base exception to make sure no
1490 exceptions leak into the C library code
1492 Release: version 0.0.2 - 2006/10/12
1493 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1495 - fixed casting error in opensync module
1496 - minor updates to documentation to prepare for release
1498 - added stdint.h to parser.h for uint32_t. Thanks Ron Gage for
1501 - large refactoring of the packet parsing and building code,
1502 splitting the code into 3 groups:
1503 - record: handles record specific parsing and building...
1504 this is mostly subfields with CommonField structs
1505 as their headers, but sometimes has a specific
1506 header of its own, in the case of email
1507 Note: email's header is as yet undecoded.
1508 Record does not know the details of the packet
1509 formats, only the formats of its own record data.
1510 - packet: handles building of complete command packets
1511 and handles parsing of commonly used header values,
1512 providing an API for it... packet does not know
1513 the record format details, but does know the
1514 details of each Database Operation (protocol.h)
1516 So far, it seems that there is a real separation
1517 of operation formats and record formats, with the
1518 record formats being the same even with different
1519 database operation codes (GET_RECORDS /
1520 OLD_GET_RECORDS), which was not confirmed before.
1521 See the header size of the email record after
1523 - controller: handles device state, and the management of
1524 sockets, commands, and checking for response values.
1525 The Controller object does not know the format
1526 of either the record or the packet it is sending,
1527 but does know the protocol handshake logic used
1528 to talk to the device.
1529 - implemented SetRecord (SET_RECORD_BY_INDEX)... syncing, here
1531 - spelling correction in opensync-plugin/AUTHORS
1533 - added sample hotplug scripts
1534 - added .cvsignore files for doxygen and opensync directories
1535 - added src/endian.h... still need to add configure support to
1536 handle non-little-endian machines
1537 - added exception handler in opensync plugin commit_change()
1538 - removed the device reset code in probe.cc, as resetting a device
1539 can renumber the devices in /proc on kernel 2.4.x,
1540 and cause a failure to reach the device...
1541 FIXME - this should be changed someday to reset if probing
1542 fails, and restart the probe on reset, as sometimes
1543 the blackberry devices respond differently when not reset
1544 Ideally, the probe protocol should be properly reverse
1546 - added support for retrieving record state table, which is needed
1548 - added support for retrieving, deleting, and clearing the dirty
1549 flags of individual blackberry device records
1550 - added endian macros throughout the code
1552 - added opensync-plugin to root Makefile's clean
1553 - updated time conversion calls to match opensync's latest SVN
1554 - added opensync_change_set_changetype() (only add for now,
1556 - removed slow sync functions for now
1558 - added quick "install" makefile target, to src/install by default
1559 - added static library target... this is temporary until autoconf
1560 stuff is added properly... needed for the opensync plugin
1561 - documented in comments that Barry::BError is intended to be
1562 the base classes for all exceptions
1563 - added first round of implementation of an opensync plugin, based
1564 on the example plugin code from the opensync sources
1566 - added to Contact record class:
1568 - ReadLdif() to load and parse LDAP data
1569 - added fragmented send support to Socket class
1570 - added Probe::FindActive() to make client programs more streamlined

1572 - added upldif.cc, a utility to take ldapsearch output on stdin
1573 and upload it to a blackberry
1574 - updated src/.cvsignore
1576 - added parsing of service book fields:
1578 - old and new unique ID (UID)
1580 - old and new description
1582 - bes domain / domain
1583 - date change in legal.txt
1584 - added initial parsing of ServiceBook field 0x09, and calling it
1585 ServiceBookConfig for now, for lack of a better name
1586 - added parsing for ServiceBook field 0x02 on 72xx Blackberries...
1587 seems to be a name or description, but doesn't appear
1588 in the device's own GUI... called "Hidden Name" for now
1590 - added ServiceBook record class and parser code, based on some
1591 of Ron Gage's reverse engineering... code is by Chris Frey
1592 - added AUTHORS file
1593 - fixed the libusb set_configuration/claim_interface order
1594 bug in controller.{h,cc}... already fixed in probe,
1595 but not controller. Thanks Ron Gage for finding this.
1597 - renamed Changelog to ChangeLog in preparation for autoconf
1598 - renamed Todo to TODO in preparation for autoconf
1600 - make clean cleans up tests properly now

1604 to the Controller class
1605 - new file: controllertmpl.h
1606 - documentation fixes in builder.h
1607 - added static GetDBName() functions to all record classes, in
1608 support of the template Controller functions

1612 of Controller template member usage
1614 - copyright dates updated for 2006
1616 - backed out update to latest libusb DEVEL tree, since it is buggy.
1617 Stick with libusb 2005/11/26
1619 - added clean target to convenience Makefile
1620 - added Boost to list of dependencies in README
1621 - fixed minor compile warnings in base64.cc
1622 - fixed new USB discovery code, and changed endpoint usage to use

1637 - added dynamic endpoint discovery to probe.cc
1638 - changed claim_interface/set_configuration() function call order in
1639 probe.cc based on feedback on the libusb mailing list
1640 - added USB discovery code to usbwrap.{h,cc}
1642 - fixed packing bug in new upload header struct
1643 - renamed CommonField union from data to u to be consistent
1644 - added return_code field to DBAccess struct, for error checking
1645 - added response checking during upload: if response is non-zero
1646 throw exception in controller.cc
1647 - added sorting operators to record parser classes... when writing
1648 contact data to the device, it may be important to write
1649 group link items last, since they reference other contacts...
1650 This needs to be tested, and if not required, removed.
1651 - added GROUP_FLAG field code to Contact parser class
1652 - fixed offset bug in Contact and Calendar Build() functions
1653 - fixed name bug in Contact::Build(), now output only with data
1654 - added appointment type flag support to Calendar record parser

1657 - added autoconf to Todo list
1658 - refactored the protocol structures so that record structs can
1659 be reused for upload and download
1660 - with new protostructs, more header control is handled by
1661 controller.cc instead of record.cc parsers and builders
1662 - parser code now accepts an offset, to govern start of record data

1669 - added boost::serialization to build
1670 - minor change in usbwrap.cc to display error codes in decimal
1671 - added SizePacket special case code to Socket::Send()... this is
1672 required when uploaded packet size is a multiple of 0x40,
1673 a special 3 byte size packet is sent
1674 - moved some record class variables to public: so they can be
1676 - fixed variable name but in RecordBuilder template
1677 - added -f switch to btool, for saving and loading of record data
1678 - added -s switch to btool, for uploading saved data back to handheld
1679 - added Controller::SaveDatabase()
1681 - fixed potential casting / pointer bug in controller.cc
1682 - added builder.h, to support uploading
1683 - minor comment fixes in parser.h
1684 - added preliminary Contact protocol record building support
1685 - fixed field order bug in ContactRecord protocol struct
1686 - Contact record.h class now saves unknown Group Link field,
1689 - added -fno-strict-aliasing to compiler flags so gcc-4.0.x won't
1690 optimize away protocol struct casts

1696 02a2a3cc?hl=en#5714701b02a2a3cc
1697 - changed headers so that any low level protocol-specific sizes and
1698 structs are completely hidden in the library...
1699 this adds library-only header: protostructs.h
1701 Release: version 0.0.1 - 2005/11/25

1722 - added README documentation in preparation for future release
1724 - added parser.{h,cc} virtual wrapper to generalize LoadDatabase()
1725 - added code to socket.cc's Packet() command to re-receive on
1726 reception of empty packets... this seems to be a signal
1727 from the device that it needs more time for long transfers
1728 Current limit: 10 blank packets before exception is thrown
1729 Observed maximum blank count: 1
1730 - added MessageRecord and OldMessageRecord to protocol.h
1731 - changed common record field structs to one CommonField struct
1732 - increased default USB timeout to 10 seconds (some loaded devices
1733 seem to need more time...)
1734 - reorganized record.{h,cc} to try to reduce the code duplication
1735 - record.h classes now "know" the sizes of their corresponding
1736 protocol structs... this may cause trouble down the line
1737 with Python, if used(?)
1738 - added Message class for Email records
1739 - removed the "Get*" database functions and replaced with
1740 general LoadDatabase() call, which loads any database
1741 available, and parses it with a Parser object

1754 - removed Test() function in Controller object, and made class
1755 better suited to its general API purpose
1756 - changed OpenMode() so it loads command table and DBDB... it is now
1757 a public API function
1758 - moved Controller test code to btool.cc and made tool more
1759 generically useful... can now download any DB by name on
1761 - added mode checks to Controller
1762 - added -t and -d command line options to btool
1763 - added base64 routines from John Walker / Fourmilab and Citadel/UX
1764 - converted base64 routines into an API, instead of hardcoded
1767 - changed project name to Barry, including namespaces
1768 - renamed sbcommon.* to common.*
1769 - increased USB default timeout to 2 seconds
1770 - fixed formatting bug in Data operator<< output
1771 - cleaned up the protocol packet structs, getting rid of the
1772 confusing param/simple split... param is now the tableCmd
1773 from the Command Table
1774 - moved protocol structs from record.h to protocol.h
1775 - added support for older version of the USB protocol, which matches
1776 the Cassis spec more closely
1777 - fixed the hardcoded offsets in blackberry.cc's protocol parsing
1778 - fixed Socket::Close() so on error, socket flags are reset.
1779 This stops Close() from being called twice on exception
1782 - added Doxyfile to the project
1784 - added mode selection support to Blackberry class (RIM Desktop,
1785 RIM Bypass, and RIM_JavaLoader)
1786 Mode selection governs which socket is used in subsequent
1788 - added Command Table parsing and protocol support
1789 Blackberry class, and CommandTable record class
1790 - added Database database parsing and protocol support
1791 Blackberry class and DatabaseDatabase record class
1792 - added Address book retrieval support - dumps data to stdout for now
1793 - fixed bug in CopyOnWrite mode in Data class, where could allocate
1794 less buffer than data copied
1795 - added "easy exception" debug output macro
1796 - fixed minor spelling error in protocol.cc
1797 - fixed ModeSelectCommand protocol structure - it is not a parameter
1798 command, but uses the unknown slots for socket and flag
1800 - removed hardcoded socket numbers from protocol.h
1801 - fixed bug in socket.cc:Open() where packet size was not properly
1803 - implemented socket::Close()
1804 - fixed sequence number checks, so it is reset properly on socket 0
1805 - added Socket::NextRecord() for multiple record data transfers
1806 - fixed input handling bug in translate.cc
1808 - added .cvsignore files to project
1809 - added README notes to document the source architecture
1810 - added dbsetup data script, which shows how to get into database
1811 mode, using the RIM Desktop mode, and open a socket
1812 - added blackberry.{h,cc} class
1813 - added command line parameters to bbtool.cc
1815 -p = specify pin of blackberry device
1816 - added blackberry test code in bbtool.cc - debugging the initial
1817 opening protocol: sockets, modes, etc... see dbsetup for
1819 - added copy-on-write functionality to Data class, so it can be used
1820 with plain data buffers with little performance impact
1821 - added eout() and ddout() debugging - to separate:
1822 - regular debug output
1823 - exception debug output (should probably be logged to
1824 syslog someday, and never turned off)
1825 - raw data dump output
1826 - changed errno SBError exception handler to try to decode the error
1827 numbers into english (limited success)
1828 - fixed probe and socket USB Bulk message handling, so they don't
1829 use PollCompletions(), but use IO::Wait() (libusb_io_wait())
1830 - added common packet size checker in protocol.cc
1831 - fixed unpacked protocol packet structs... using gcc's
1832 __attribute__ ((packed)) ... see protocol.h
1833 - added ModeSelectCommand structure (protocol.h)
1834 - finished Socket::Open() call (Close() not yet implemented)
1835 - moved Socket::Send/Receive() out of private, as they can be used
1836 for socket 0 operations.
1837 - cleaned up pointer management with macros:
1841 - added IO::Wait() and IO::Cancel() to correspond with libusb API
1842 - added datadumping in usbwrap for easy protocol capture
1843 - added preliminary record.{h,cc} classes
1844 - added Contact record parsing, and test code
1846 - syncberry tree started
